Cluster:Extractive Rule
Tradition & Continuity leads the elevations, with Authority & Hierarchy, Material Aspiration, and Security & Stability high beside it, while Knowledge & Truth and Care & Welfare are strongly depressed and the procedural Principles run low. Elevated Material Aspiration is the distinctive marker among the hierarchical clusters. What separates it from Mobilized Absolutism is degree: the depressions here are shallower and the elevations less extreme.
